All relationships have ups and downs.

Just because someone is having a bad day or week doesn't mean that the relationship should be ended.

relationships
Ok, maybe men that are old enough to be my dad, and from the old school, you might find a good one every now and then, but in my generation after being single for almost 10 years it seem there is way to many problems in relationships these day. To much lying, cheating, porn, drugs and no one wants to be serious in a relationship anymore. So many are so self center and only think of themselves.
NO, Good relationships do NOT have "toxic" elements
His behavior is classic psychological abuse. He's got you questioning your view of reality, for Pete's sake! Your instincts are right! He's the nutcase, not you. You need to get away from him and get your sense of self back. You might benefit from speaking with a counselor by yourself. Check with your local abuse hotline or maybe a women's shelter for the name of someone who can offer counseling to women in abusive relationships. I really believe you are in an abusive relationship, and you need to get outside it to determine what the best thing for your own sanity and well being would be. I'll be thinking of you. I've got my fingers crossed that you'll free yourself of this abuse. Please take care.
ups and downs - sm
you have to pay your expenses up front. Kforce DOES NOT PAY THEM. The work is not steady. You could be told that you are going to be on an assignment for two weeks and then end up being there four months or longer. Lots of assignments will not pay for your travel home - it comes out of your pocket- regardless of what Kforce tells you. Sometimes the hospital paid for my trip home, but I had two assignments where I had to pay for it myself. Paychecks were always a problem - not only with myself, but others that I traveled with. Never on time - never the right amount - taxes taken out of two states (your home state and the state you travel to), etc. There was some good to it, i.e. I did get to see some very small towns in remote parts of the country, got to work on different types of equipment, always a learning experience, etc. I could go on about various other things and situations that arose with myself or other travelers, but I do not want to clog up the space with a long response. It's one of those jobs that may or may not be for certain people. It is best for the person that doesn't have children, or a spouse, not a lot of responsibility, and probably be best if you had no mortgage/rent because you are away from home a lot and why pay all that money and not be in your home, etc.
If you like the ups and downs..sm
Of nothing and then being harrassed when busy. Thee audio was bad and the ESL accents even worse. I didn't think the pay rate matched what they expected for the poor quality of the sound, etc., myself.
all jobs have their ups and downs sm
all jobs cause burnout eventually, not just this one. Just think, would you rather be home or stuck in an office somewhere? I'd rather be here, listening to my son sing on the kareoke (sp) machine some silly song he heard on a movie, while my daughter styles her hair for the thousandth time today, and where my husband can call me a million times a day, and I don't have to worry about a supervisor walking in on me. Relax, it's just a job!

I don't think anyone "loves" their job all the time, nor do I think anyone "hates" their job all the time. I think it comes in seasons, if you will. I go through periods where I love it, then hate it, then tolerate it, etc. Just comes with the working life in general. If you find something else you like, are good at, and can make money, then go for it! Good luck, though, whatever you choose!
